convolution of functions whose integral is known
$begingroup$
Is there a general approach to solve the convolution
begin{align}
(f*g)(x) & = int_{-infty}^infty f(t)g(x-t),dt
end{align}
if the individual integrals $int_{-infty}^infty f(t),dt, ; int_{-infty}^infty g(t),dt $ are known?
(In my particular case $f$ and $g$ have support on $[0, T]$ only.)
Thanks!

No, the convolution is not a function of the integrals alone.

Certainly not. The two integrals are mere constants, which do not allow to retrieve any useful information about $f$ and $g$.

It is just a matter of finding the integral on RHS and knowledge of the integrals you mention is not useful.
If $f$ and $g$ have support $[0,T]$ then the result will be the same if $f$ is replaced by $fmathbf1_{[0,T]}$ and $g$ by $gmathbf1_{[0,T]}$.
Now observe that: $$f(x)mathbf1_{[0,T]}(x)g(x-t)mathbf1_{[0,T]}(x-t)neq0implies$$$$ tin[0,T]cap[x-T,x]=[max(0,x-T),min(T,x)]$$
showing that it is handsome to discern cases:
- If $x<0$ or $x>2T$ then the integrand is the zero function so that $(f*g)(x)=0$.
- If $xin[0,T]$ then it is enough to integrate over $[0,x]$.
- If $xin[T,2T]$ then it is enough to integrate over $[x-T,T]$.

If $f$ and $g$ have support $[0,T]$ then the result will be the same if $f$ is replaced by $fmathbf1_{[0,T]}$ and $g$ by $gmathbf1_{[0,T]}$.
Now observe that: $$f(x)mathbf1_{[0,T]}(x)g(x-t)mathbf1_{[0,T]}(x-t)neq0implies$$$$ tin[0,T]cap[x-T,x]=[max(0,x-T),min(T,x)]$$
showing that it is handsome to discern cases:
- If $x<0$ or $x>2T$ then the integrand is the zero function so that $(f*g)(x)=0$.
- If $xin[0,T]$ then it is enough to integrate over $[0,x]$.
